Healthcare & Social Care

One forged credential in a care setting is one too many.

Fraudulent nursing registrations, fake first aid certificates, and forged police clearances have led to real harm in healthcare and social care settings. The volume of documents processed during staff onboarding — especially for agency and temporary workers — creates the conditions for fraudulent credentials to slip through. A forensic check on every document submitted is the only systematic protection.

The problem

What fraud looks like in healthcare & social care

Forged nursing and allied health certificates

Registration certificates from non-existent or misrepresented institutions are submitted to bypass mandatory qualification checks. Embossed seal analysis, font consistency, and registration number format checks expose the forgeries.

Fake first aid and mandatory training completions

Certificates for required training — first aid, manual handling, infection control — are fabricated or altered to show completion. Issuing body branding, date plausibility, and stamp authenticity are all verified.

Altered police clearance letters

Police clearance certificates and working-with-children checks are edited to remove disclosures or alter dates. Government letterhead plausibility, stamp forensics, and field alignment analysis detect the tampering.
